In the syntax table of sh-script-mode, the syntax of . and / is
punctuation. This has the advantage of being able to use, e.g.,
kill-sexp to kill one component of a path. However, it also has the
disadvantage of not correctly indenting line continuations when a path
to a command is given.
As an example, consider:
relative-path/to/configure --prefix=$prefix \
--with-x \
--with-x-toolkit=gtk3 \
--with-cairo
(This is how I would expect it to be indented.) Currently,
sh-script-mode would consider only relative-path to be the first sexp on
the leading line and therefore indent it as:
relative-path/to/configure --prefix=$prefix \
--with-x \
--with-x-toolkit=gtk3 \
--with-cairo
Changing the syntax of . and / to symbol would make the entire
relative-path/to/configure be considered the first sexp and therefore
give the correct indentation show above.
Moreover, one would then be able to use, e.g., kill-sexp to kill a full
path as opposed to just one component.
What do you think? Alternatively, we could work on fixing only the
SMIE-provided indentation and leave the syntax as it is.
Best regards,
Dario
